Problem: topics of Feb.1 and Feb.29 classes

   Rob -- Please check the topic for the Feb.1 class -- I 
understand that it's been changed to "Physics and Astronomy". 
The Using Charts talk is now on Feb.29.  Paul captured the text 
prior to the swap.

   There is also the explanatory title: "Knowing a little physics 
helps your understanding of astronomy.  A (mostly) 
non-mathematical look at the physics of various astronomical 
phenomena."

   Should that also be put in the front-page calendar block? 
It's good information and should be there somewhere, but doesn't 
warrant a separate article, so I'd suggest putting it in the 
calendar block, immediately following the primary title.


ROB again: if you have a topic for the March 14 class, now's your 
chance to grab an extra month's publicity.  Let Paul and I know.

Page 4 -- pictures.

   Since the first picture is about one of our speakers, it seems 
appropriate that Dr.Hoglan's talk should be placed next, rather 
than at the bottom of the page.  As it is, his talk is rather 
overshadowed by the gift exchange.
